Checking the clutch cable is a good idea, but I don't see why you say that 
most of the pedal feel is from the clutch pedal. The springs on the pedal 
ass'y and the clutch release lever are weak compared to the giant spring 
that squeezes the clutch to the flywheel (AKA pressure plate) The "play" you 
feel as you press your clutch pedal in, is from the first set of springs 
(you don't even feel them) and once you get resistance, that's 99.99% 
pressure plate.
